Ok but where have the good phone games gone. I’m horrified watching a 10 year old or so relative playing games on his phone only to spend 90% of the time watching unskippable ads.
It’s worth it to pay 1 to 5 dollars for a no ad mobile game for the kid. Even if they play it for a week, it’s just like any other $5 toy they may have gotten and got bored of.

There were never any good phone games. That past of the industry was immediately filled with micro transactions and gambling esque mechanics.
The first angry birds had no microtransactions at all. Nor did the first plants vs zombies. They were good phone games imo
This is why I just set my kid up with an emulator and a huge list of games.
Balatro has an Android version which is great
That’s my go-to on the plane
Well, for one thing there are plenty of directly purchaseable games on phones these days. I’ve been handing kids some Peglin and heard no complaints.
For another, 2000s Flash games WERE unskippable ads and yet here we are.
Horrified, you will be. I’m telling you.

I’m not their parent, but I guess your argument makes sense.
I’d love to install PiHole for them at one point because it gets rid of all those ads in mobile games.
Can also get an emulator and enjoy all the classics of yore. Chronotrigger holds up, for example
1-5€ per upgrade you mean.
1-5€ per cosmetic you mean
